Thanks, I wasn't a big fan of the tangerine wheels before we painted them, I wanted a brighter orange. But I like how it turned out.

I got the pipes wrapped and the trail tech gauge installed.

I have some wiring issues, the brake, tail and turn signals are wacky and the bike won't start on the button, just clicks. I had another starter solenoid and that does the same. I can't get the starter to run anymore, even when hooked up to the car battery.

I just rebuilt the starter and it was working fine.

Also, clutch is wonky, I have been playing with the adjuster under the sprocket cover but think that I need to rerun the cable.

Bike starts on first kick and ideals nice. I hope the brake lines come in tomorrow so I can ride!

eBay.I found a seller with a rear wheel and all the other parts. He was parting bikes out and had everything for sale separately. He was asking crazy prices, like $9.99 just for rotor bolts. I sent him a question and offered to buy all of it for one price.

I think I paid $120 with shipping. I got the wheel, swingarm, caliper, caliper hanger, two sets of the thing that the brake lever mounts to, a rotor, brake pads, axel and spacers, sprocket and just about all the hardware that I needed.

I bought a master cylinder that is for a dirt bike with no reservoir ($10 eBay new) and welded a bracket to the frame to mount it. I cut up some square tube that I got from Lowes for that. The I ordered a custom brake line ($70).

We didn't need a disk rear, but my wife wanted a disk front and the 18" rim allowed better choices of tires. I couldn't find a 18" front / 16" rear tire set that I liked. The other option would have been to lace up a 18" rim to the spoked rims that came with the bike and make another disk hub spokes rim fork for the front.

Well the plan was to have it for Cleveland Mods vs Rockers yesterday. I got the bike done for my wife, but the ride ended early when the battery wasn't charging. I swapped out the rectifier and regulator but that didn't help. I need to look to see how to check to make sure that they are working and to check the stator. Any links to places that walk a dummy through that?

I had did research on the Shorai battery, I thought that they were OK with the older rec/regs. I may need to buy a combo unit any recommendations?

We still went to the bike show, she just had to ride her Ducati. Kinda hard to feel too bad about that.
